New Music
As you all know, I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to music. Since having spent my summer in Alaska and now my winter in Paris I haven't been keeping up on new music coming out and am falling behind. But I did just get Muse's new album The Resistance and I'm obsessed with it. The song Uprising is definitely one of my favorites along with I Belong to You (+ Mon Coeur S'ouvre A Ta Voix) and I love how different the entire album is, which is only expected from Muse. They're pretty much amazing. Also, I was disappointed to find that they played in Paris last week and I had no idea. So now I'm attempting to find a good show while here that isn't already sold out or too expensive

If it wasn't for my 100.4 fever I think she would've just kicked me out. But thankfully the h

At first I just thought I was getting a bad cold but when the body aches, fever, chills and night sweats kicked in, I became worried that I caught the Swine Flu. So I laid in bed unable to move and asked Jason to google the symptons for me. As he did it, he gasped and said he didn't want to read them to me. Needless to say, I had every sympton. Somehow or another I survived the airplane and bus ride back to Paris where I have not left my room since. Last night I ended up soaking five different pj's along with my sheets in the ever so lovely night sweats. I

Belle-Ile-en-Mer
This past summer while I was working in Alaska I met quite a few people from France. One of which was Bastien, a young man hitchhiking through Alaska who had stopped in Denali Park for a couple days. When we started talking I told him I'd be studying in Paris for the winter, so we exchanged informat
